Hi Pete,
Have just fired up my Macson with 'V' pulleys as advised (I got it with the spindle pulley as a 'V' so assumed it was standard) and when I fitted the grinding wheel it undid itself - nut is a RH thread and there are no markings on the home made wheel cover to suggest its correct rotation obviously with a RH thread retaining nut the wheel must rotate anticlockwise - supposed matched pair 'V' belt shows different tension on each belt although local belt supplier says there length is within 1mm. of each other? however to be fair I made the motor pulley.
What is your grinding wheel rotation please

What thread is holding your wheel on , I assume it will be a LH thread and your wheel rotates anticlockwise?
please advise
